About IO Visor Project

The IO Visor Project is an open source project and a community of developers to accelerate the innovation, development, and sharing of virtualized in-kernel IO services for tracing, analytics, monitoring, security and networking functions. It brings universal IO extensibility to the Linux kernel and gives developers the ability to create applications, publish them, deploy them in live systems without having to recompile or reboot a full datacenter.

IO Visor Project provides a programmable data plane with development tools to simplify the creation and sharing of dynamic “IO Modules”. At its heart is IO Visor_Engine, which is a universal in-kernel IO Virtual Machine that provides run-time extensibility. IO Visor_Engine has a set of IO Visor_Plugins to provide functionality to different areas.

Under IO Visor Project, you’ll get a set of development tools called IO Visor_Dev_Tools and a set of management and operations tools of the IO Visor_Engine called IO Visor_Tools. For more information on how to use and build IO Modules using IO Visor toolkit, please go to http://github.com/iovisor/bcc.

With this framework and toolkit, you can build IO_Modules on top of the IO Visor framework for security, networking, tracing or any other functional areas.
